April is on the horizon, meaning several movies will be leaving Netflix. The list of films leaving the streamer by April 1 includes Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Zack Snyder’s follow-up to Man of Steel; Elysium, a sci-fi action adventure starring Matt Damon; and The Conversation, Francis Ford Coppola’s Academy Award-nominated thriller.

Those are only three of the many movies leaving Netflix at the end of March. Below, we selected three more films to watch by April 1. Our picks include a charming musical comedy made for the whole family, a 2000 comedy starring an Oscar winner, and an underrated bro-comedy from the 2010s.

School of Rock (2003)

The movie that taught us that one great rock show can change the world is leaving Netflix very soon. School of Rock, the delightful comedy by Richard Linklater, is the perfect union of Jack Black’s two talents – music and comedy. Black stars as Dewey Finn, a loser and wannabe rock star still searching for his big break. In need of money, Dewey poses as his roommate (The White Lotus’ Mike White) to work as a substitute teacher at a private elementary school.

After discovering some of the children’s musical talents, Dewey, who now goes by “Mr. S,” Dewey throws the curriculum out the window and embarks on a new class project: starting a rock band. Dewey plans to enter his new group, School of Rock, into the Battle of the Bands. Backed by catchy tunes and an energetic performance from Black, this movie rocks, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Meet the Parents (2000)

“I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?” “I just figured, if you’re gonna follow in someone’s footsteps, who better than Christ?” “Puff is just the name of the boy’s magical dragon.” We’re only scratching the surface for quotable lines from Meet the Parents, the hilarious romantic comedy starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro.

Male nurse Greg Focker (Stiller) plans to propose to his schoolteacher girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo). Before Greg can get down on one knee, he must ask Pam’s father, Jack Byrnes (De Niro), a retired CIA officer, for his blessing. Greg plans to ask for the blessing when he visits Pam’s parents over the weekend. As soon as Greg arrives, everything that can go wrong does. From missing luggage and a lie detector test to an ex-fiancé and a pool volleyball game, Greg can’t do anything right. Will it ruin his proposal plans?

Neighbors (2014)

Before giving the performance of his career in The Iron Claw, Zac Efron was making audiences laugh alongside Seth Rogen in Neighbors. After the birth of their daughter, Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) move to the suburbs to start the next chapter of their life. However, the couple didn’t plan for the Delta Psi Beta fraternity to live next door.

Afraid to look uncool, Mac and Kelly bond with the fraternity’s president, Teddy Sanders (Efron), and agree to remain cordial. That goodwill is thrown out the window when Mac and Kelly call the cops on the fraternity during a raucous party. Teddy sees this as an act of war and makes it his mission to ruin the lives of his new neighbors. The ensuing hijinks make for an entertaining comedy with charm and heart.

Like Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill? Then watch these 3 great action movies right now
Uma Thurman with a sword in 'Kill Bill Vol. 1'

Over the course of his decades-long career, Quentin Tarantino has been open about the many genres he has riffed on. One of his most obvious riffs came with the Kill Bill movies, which were released in 2003 and 2004. The films follow Uma Thurman as a female assassin who is out for revenge against the team that betrayed her.

The movies were a riff on Hong Kong action films and featured some genuinely great action in and of themselves. If you were bewitched by those films upon their release, there are plenty of other movies like them that you should be sure to check out. Here are three of the very best.

March is almost over, and while it didn't win a lot of Oscars this year, Netflix is still a winner in terms of popularity. That's primarily due to its diverse slate of hits and critically acclaimed movies and shows, which range from The Gentlemen, Guy Ritchie's action-comedy series, to Damsel, a fantasy movie starring Millie Bobby Brown.

Netflix plans to maintain its dominance with its April programming slate, the best yet this year. The month starts with a bang with the premiere of Ripley, a new limited series that adapts the popular novel and 1999 movie The Talented Mr. Ripley, and the debut of Scoop, a drama based on the real-life scandal involving Prince Andrew's controversial interview with the BBC. The month ends with the highly anticipated adaptation of the popular Neil Gaiman comic book series Dead Boy Detectives and the second part of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon films. Check the list below for everything coming to Netflix in April 2024.
